ABOVE: Remember this? When the union bosses and the hate-filled left laughed when they hung Sarah Palin in effigy!

My friends , I'm sure you all recall the hue and cry from the libo purveyors of hate when Rush Limbaugh called Sandra Fluke a "SLUT," to which he later apologized. His comments were also denounced by many conservatives - including myself. President Obama even telephoned Miss Fluke.

Yet...there is literal silence about  Donna Dewitt, the outgoing president of South Carolina's AFL-CIO chapter, taking a bat to a piñata bearing Gov. Nikki Haley's (R) likeness. Why? Has Obama called HER? If not...WHY? Has her actions been denounced by ANY left-wing commentators , bloggers , the MSM , and other left-wingers? NO! Again , we must ask WHY? ( see below video ).

This is exactly the kind of hate that true Americans are finally beginning to see - and mark my words , my friends - we will show it come November! Hate-filled stunts like this are doing more harm than good for any chance Obama has of seeing a second term. He hasn't even the common decency to denounce this action publicly! WHY? Could you imagine if it had been a conservative taking a bat to a piñata bearing the image of say ,
Debbie Wasserman Schultz - or Michelle Obama!

It's truly sad my friends , that those who spew their rhetoric about "tolerance," "acceptance," and "love" choose to remain mute about this.

Union boss joins attack against Gov. Haley

By: Chris Woodward - OneNewsNow

Piñatas are normally thought of as party accessories. But one union boss decided to give one a different purpose.

An online video shows Donna Dewitt, the outgoing president of South Carolina's AFL-CIO chapter, taking a bat to a piñata bearing Gov. Nikki Haley's (R) likeness and a quote from Haley that "unions are not needed, wanted or welcome in South Carolina."

Fred Wszolek of the Workforce Fairness Institute (WFI) does not think this was a smart move.

"This is the governor of the state where the Boeing plant is located, that the NLRB [National Labor Relations Board] said should never have been built and they wanted to keep from ever operating because it was in a right-to-work state," Wszolek notes. "And then these union bosses wonder why people are leery of them."

His organization sees this incident as all the more reason to limit, not expand, union access to employee contact information.

"Most sensible people don't want that woman with the baseball bat coming to visit them on their doorstep to talk about why they should join the union," the WFI spokesman suggests.

This is not the first time Governor Haley has been the subject of attacks. Phil Bailey, the political director of South Carolina's Senate Democratic Caucus, was reprimanded this week and told to take down his Twitter feed after calling Haley a "Sikh Jesus" in reference to Haley's Christian faith and Indian heritage. Bailey was upset with the South Carolina Republican Party's "unlawful ruling" to allow a Haley ally on the ballot against Republican state Senator John M. Knotts, who referred to Haley in 2010 as a "raghead."

Blacks and same-sex marriage

By: Star Parker - Syndicated Columnist - 5/21/2012

Perhaps history will show that the first black president's biggest contribution to black America was forcing this community to come to terms with its own identity and priorities.

By formalizing his support of same-sex marriage, President Barack Obama has pushed blacks to decide what is most important to them: The biblical message they hear in church every Sunday, or the big government liberalism that they regularly vote for on Tuesday of Election Day.

I've often talked about what I call the "Sunday-Tuesday Gap" in black America.

The black church has always played a central role in black American life. Blacks attend church with greater frequency than any ethnic group in the nation. In church, they hear from pastors who preach the Bible in a most literal fashion. (Read: Black church coalition denounces NAACP and Obama support for gay marriage)

According to a 2010 Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life survey, 34 percent of the general public sees the Bible as the literal word of God. However, 57 percent of blacks and 61 percent of black Protestants say the Bible should be read as God's literal word.

This helps explain why in responding to surveys on so-called "social issues" -- abortion, marriage, family, infidelity, homosexuality -- blacks poll like white conservatives.

However, when blacks go to vote on Tuesday, they certainly don't vote like white conservatives. They vote like white liberals.

On Sunday, blacks hear preachers talk about traditional values, about family, about personal responsibility, about the sanctity of life. On Tuesday, they go to the polls and vote for candidates who support abortion, moral relativism, and government dependence.

According to a 2010 Gallup survey, 55 percent of blacks said they attend church frequently ("at least once a week" or "almost every week"). However among Democrats, the party blacks overwhelmingly support, 39 percent say they attend church frequently. And among liberals, who are overwhelmingly Democrats, 27 percent attend church frequently.

The black vote wasn't always so predictable. Eisenhower got 39 percent of the black vote in 1956 and Nixon received 32 percent in 1960.

Now, 90 percent of blacks can be depended on to pull the lever for Democrats.

These are the blacks of Tuesday. But now that Obama has made his support for same-sex marriage clear, what impact will this have on the blacks of Sunday?

In 2008 in California, the blacks of Tuesday voted for Barack Obama. But in the same election, the blacks of Sunday switched over and voted for Proposition 8, which directed that marriage be formally defined in the California state constitution as traditional marriage of man and woman.

After Obama spoke out for same-sex marriage, those commonly identified as black America's political leadership -- Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Julian Bond, Joseph Lowery -- immediately took public positions supporting the president's stand.

But these leaders, who represent the political behavior of Tuesday blacks, are out of sync with grass-roots sentiment, which reflects the sentiments of Sunday blacks. According to Pew, 47 percent of Americans support legalization of same-sex marriage, but only 39 percent of blacks and 33 percent of black Protestants do.

If there is a consensus on anything today, it's that most Americans feel the country is on the wrong track. Where we part company is on the diagnosis of what is wrong.

There are big questions we must decide that will determine the kind of country our kids and grandkids will be living in.

There is no place where the dilemma is clearer than among black Americans.

Will America move more in the direction of the values of the blacks of Sunday or those of the blacks of Tuesday?

It's time for black Americans to set and clarify their priorities and act in concert with them. The choices made today will impact not just their own future, but the future of our whole nation.
